What have You Published Recently? #writing #reading

Writing and getting published are both challenging. Some people call it fun. For me it is work. Occasionally joyful work, but work, nonetheless. Most of my joy comes right after I’ve finished writing something.

Publication brings validation, the much-needed pat-on-the back that we fragile creative souls need from time to time.

He sits right there next to her, nuzzling her neck, whispering half-drunken stories, not caring who’s looking, her husband’s friends, or his wife. Rob’s breath fans over her throat and ear, warming her against the light evening chill. She’s waiting for him to make a suggestion, can already hear it whisper within her. The world’s axis has tilted, she imagines the hum of bees who cannot sleep; in the back-garden around them obscene May tulips wilt, their last, gold-dirty-musk smell mingling with barbecue fumes.

For this weekend, I’d like to read what you all have published in the past few months, whether it is a story, a poem, an article, a novel. So I’m adding a Linky list,open till Monday, and invite you all to add links to your recently published pieces. Anything in the last few months is great.

Link to the piece/ novel you want read, and not to your blog. I’ll delete links that lead to home pages and websites.

In the Blog Title part of the Link form, add the genre and the title (For instance: Novel: The Old Man and the Sea).

Do NOT do the following:

Do not add spam links.

Do not add homepage links to Websites/ Blogs.

Do not add more than one link.

Do not ask me to edit/ make changes to the list. (I edit typos without being prompted, don’t worry).

I hope to have a few things to read by the weekend!

Here’s the Linky:

What have you published recently? What do you think the publication experience gives you? Do you read online journals or magazines? What books have you recently read, and would recommend? What is your comment on my piece at the Litro?

Alas, the last thing that I’d published was a short story collection last year. Haven’t tried to get anything published the normal way in quite a few years. Kudos to those who can get articles/stories published a consistent basis. Your linky list for published short stories/articles is a very good idea and I wish you luck with it.

This is a really cool idea! I may borrow (steal) it and use it on my own blog.
The most recent thing I published was a couple weeks ago when I finally finished Greetings From Sunny Aluna. It’s an atypical fantasy novel in wuxia world populated with dragons, martial arts, crime, & magic.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CRCPDW

Hi – my fiction is second pass through the agent’s hand after a few edits. Christian/crime-thriller/romance… 🙂 such a paradox, eh? Hope a PH will pick it up soon (like this year? or Jan?), don’t we all. I will post my website however

Oh yes! Writing (especially the first draft) & publishing is challenging. And, it is work.
I have published my first novel, We Will Meet Again, and a horror short story (that’s free for reading) on Juggernaut books. Also, I published an article (3 Reasons You Should Try Multiple Points Of View In Your Novel) on Blogchatter. Also, I recently got published in a magazine called New Woman.

I didn’t get the rules for adding the link. We can’t share blog links. Can I share the link of story story that I published on Juggernaut?

Read your story, Almost There, and Back Again. It’s a beautiful piece of writing (commented there)!
